Chapter 226: Protecting the Innocent
When he asked for peace the next morning, Wang Ningxuan deliberately stayed with everyone for a while, saying that he had already gone to invite Xi Ze.
It didn't take long to see Xi Ze walk in, and everyone knelt down to greet him: "The concubines see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
Xi Ze said as he walked: "Get up!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" Yun Tian got up and sat down with everyone.
Xi Ze sat down on the phoenix seat, looked at Wang Ningxuan and asked, "Queen, you said that you have something to invite me to come, what is the matter?" ”
Wang Ningxuan replied: "If you go back to the emperor, it is about last night, someone told the concubine that she saw Chun Jieyu out of the garden last night, and did not go to the river, Chun Jieyu is innocent, please send Chun Jieyu over!" ”
"I see!" Xi Ze nodded, and immediately said to Sixi, "Sixi, you go to Lintoe Palace and pass Chunjieyu over!" ”
"Yes!" Sixi received the order and soon left the middle palace.
Xi Ze asked again: "Queen, who told you that you saw Chun Jieyu coming out of the garden?" ”
Wang Ningxuan replied: "It's the concubine's palace maid meteor!" As he spoke, he turned to Ling Wei and said, "Ling Wei, pass on the meteor!"
Sixi soon came to Chun Jieyu, and at that time, the meteor had also come to Chaofeng Palace.
Chun Jieyu looked at Xi Ze, bent down and saluted: "The concubines see the emperor, see the queen's mother, long live my emperor, long live the queen, long live the queen mother, thousand years old!" ”
Xi Ze gave a hand and said, "No courtesy!" Then, he looked at Wang Ningxuan again and said, "Queen, what's going on?" Let's talk about it! ”
"Yes!" Wang Ningxuan nodded, looked at the meteor standing below, and lightly opened his lips and said, "Meteor, tell everyone what you saw last night!" ”
Meteor immediately replied, "Yes!" Back to the emperor, last night, when the slave and maid passed by outside the back garden, they saw Chun Jieyu out of the back garden, so she walked outside, and then went into the garden again, and did not go to the river! ”
When everyone heard this, they all talked about it.
Wang Ningxuan didn't hear it, but just looked at Xi Ze and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you look at the matter of concubines, someone has proved that it is indeed not about pure Jieyu!" Chun Jieyu is innocent! Please let the emperor decide! ”
Xi Ze nodded when he heard this, looked at Chun Jieyu and asked, "Chun Jieyu, was the situation last night like what Meteor said?" ”
Chun Jieyu, who was surprised over there, hurriedly said, "Yes...... It is...... That's what she said, and the matter of concubines has nothing to do with concubines! The concubine is innocent! Emperor Shengming, please Emperor Mingjian! ”
Xi Ze nodded when he heard this, and said: "Now that the matter is clear, since the matter of the concubine has nothing to do with you, then your grounding order will be lifted, as for the matter of the concubine, I will continue to send someone to investigate, don't be impatient, concubines!" ”
With Xi Ze's words, everyone couldn't say anything, and said in unison: "The emperor is shengming!" ”
Chun Jieyu said even more happily: "Thank you to the emperor, thank you to the queen!" ”
Xi Ze was very satisfied when he heard this, and said: "Then let's stop here today, you all disperse, and I will also leave!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all got up and knelt down and said, "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor!" “
After Xi Ze left, the concubines also retired.
Only Xia Chunjieyu stayed in the middle palace, and after all the concubines retreated, Chun Jieyu knelt down to Wang Ningxuan with great emotion, and said: "Thank you for the great kindness of the concubine, and the concubine is innocent, save the concubine, the concubine is this kindness, the concubine is unforgettable!" ”
Wang Ningxuan hurriedly said: "Hurry up, this palace doesn't want to see anyone wronged, but act impartially!" ”
Chun Jieyu stood up at this time, and said with great gratitude: "Niangniang acts impartially, and the concubine admires, if it weren't for Niangniang proving the innocence of the concubine in time, the concubine still doesn't know how long to be grounded?" ”
Wang Ningxuan smiled and said: "The clear ones are self-purifying, the turbid ones are self-turbid, the emperor is sage, and he will definitely not wronged good people!" It's just that there are some words that the palace also wants to remind Jieyu! ”
Chun Jieyu came to her senses and said respectfully: "Niangniang, please speak, the concubine listens!" ”
Wang Ningxuan said seriously: "There are many people in the palace, you must not go to a place where there is no one, and you must not go to a dark place, so as not to get into trouble again, and it is easy to explain it clearly if there are many people!" ”
Chun Jieyu nodded when she heard this, and bent down slightly: "Thank you for reminding the concubine, the concubine must follow the queen's teachings!" ”
Wang Ningxuan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You have also been frightened in the past two days, go back to the palace to rest early!" One qiē is over, don't think too much about the others! ”
Chun Jieyu hurriedly said: "Thank you to the queen, the concubine obeyed the order, and the concubine retired!" ”
With that, he turned around and left the middle palace.
That night, Xi Ze came to Weiyang Palace, Yun Tian sent the palace people back, and asked Xi Ze, "Did you kill the concubine?" ”
Xi Ze was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled again: "Why are you so smart?" Guessed so quickly! ”
Yun Qian frowned slightly and said: "I felt that the situation was wrong when the gate of the back garden of the Middle Palace was open last night, and this morning the queen hurriedly came out to protect Chun Jieyu's innocence, this is obviously not wanting to wronged the innocent, you cooperate so well, the queen wants to do it so grandly, it should not be the queen's idea alone, it was you who instructed it!" ”
Xi Ze clapped his hands again and again when he heard this, and praised: "This idea analysis is really meticulous and smooth, not bad, not bad!" You're getting better and better now, and I really can't hide anything from you! ”
Yun was puzzled and asked, "Why did you kill He Concubine?" ”
Xi Ze replied: "The things brought by Yi Jieyu had problems twice, both of them were with the hands and feet of the concubine, I said that I would not let go of the murderer, and now I can be regarded as upholding justice for you!" ”
Yun Tian was shocked when he heard this, but he couldn't be completely convinced, and asked: "He Concubine is the daughter of Prime Minister Fu, although it is hateful, but the crime does not lead to death, after all, I am fine, but you took her life, don't you want to shake the government by doing this?" What if Prime Minister Fu finds out about you? ”
Xi Ze smiled slightly and comforted: "Don't worry, you have already found a scapegoat, all the evidence has been destroyed, he can't find me here!" ”
"Have you found a scapegoat? Not pure Jieyu? Yun Tian asked rhetorically, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with the government?" ”
Xi Ze nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly!" ”
Yun Qian said: "Since it is related to the government and the concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics, I won't ask more!" ”
Xi Ze smiled: "You can ask, it's just that I don't want you to know too much, it's too dangerous!" ”
Yun Qianer: "I understand, it's just that the Queen Mother is still staring at me!" I still don't know anything, I won't ask about the affairs of the government! It's just that...... You have to be careful about this and don't leave any flaws! ”
Xi Ze nodded and comforted: "Don't worry! ”
Yun Tian asked again: "Who are you going to push out to carry this black cauldron?" ”
Xi Ze smiled slightly and said, "You'll know in a few days!" (To be continued.) )
